This is the first Viator tour that my husband and I have ever taken. Robbie was very knowledgeable and took the time to speak with each person on the tour. The food was great and plentiful. We will definitely book with Viator again.

Ben seemed like a good guy. Neither of us particularly liked any of the food. It was just ok. The biggest issue was that he was about 15 minutes late and the tour was over 45 minutes early. These issues didn’t make this tour worth it.

Hi Sheila, thank you for joining our Austin food tour and for sharing your thoughts. We're glad you found Ben to be a good guide, though we're saddened that the experience didn’t quite meet your expectations. Our tours are carefully curated to showcase some of Austin’s best local flavors, and while we know that taste is subjective, we’ve received great feedback from many guests who loved the variety we offer. We always strive to ensure that every stop provides a delicious and well-rounded experience. Regarding the timing, our tours are scheduled to last a certain duration while allowing for a natural flow based on group dynamics and pace. A delayed start is not typical for our experiences, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’ll be sure to review this to ensure that all our tours run as smoothly as possible. We hope you’ll consider giving Secret Food Tours another try in the future—whether in Austin or one of our many locations worldwide. Our guides are passionate about sharing great food and local stories, and we'd love the opportunity to impress you next time.
